Older sash windows stay up through the use of a rope (called a sash cord) and a counterbalanced lead weight, designed to match the weight of the sash.

When the sash is raised the weight is lowered, and vice versa. In modern sash windows and some new timber sash windows, the sash cord and weight system is replaced with spring loaded balances, which are tensioned to make sure that they hold the sash in place rather than pulling it up or letting it drop.
